cause and effect

 

In English, the meaning of the sentence cause and effect is cause and effect. Namely, types of compound sentences that have causes and can lead to effects. Cause means something that happens, while the effect is a consequence or result of the incident.

Typically, these sentences are characterized by a marker word or phrase called a connector. Because it is often used in conjunction with a degree of comparison sentence, you can learn both while learning! What are the connectors in cause and effect? Let's understand the following explanation. There are formulas and example sentences too, you know!

Cause and effect is divided into two, namely those that are followed by nouns, verbs or clauses. To master it, you need to first compare the cause and effect sentences.
